This hairdressing accessory comprises a hollow body provided with an end that is configured to be connected to the air outlet of the hairdressing appliance. The hairdressing accessory includes two hollow branches that extend the hollow body by forking. Thus, the air blown by the hairdressing apparatus penetrates the body then spreads in both branches. These two branches each comprise at least one opening, said openings being configured to eject the blown air in a direction inclined at an angle of between 30 ° and 80 ° relative to a plane P passing through the two branches, preferably on the whole length of these branches. Said openings extend longitudinally and parallel to the longitudinal axis of each of the branches. Said openings extend along a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the plane P or advantageously included in the plane P. Said branches are configured so that their ends have between them a spacing E allowing the passage of hair.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'accessoire de coiffure permet de garantir un bon séchage des cheveux, le flux d'air issu des ouvertures qui sont disposées en vis-à-vis est donc orienté vers les cheveux, tout en évitant les effets de turbulence. Plus précisément, le flux d'air issu des ouvertures est alors un flux longitudinal, c'est-à-dire qui s'étend sur une certaine longueur, dont l'origine est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal des branches de l'accessoire et le flux est orienté obliquement par rapport au plan P et préférentiellement vers le bas de l'appareil de coiffure. Le rendu après séchage est amélioré. En outre, l'accessoire peut être positionné convenablement au-dessus de la chevelure en manipulant aisément l'appareil de coiffure. Les mèches de cheveux peuvent être positionnées facilement entre les deux branches en les introduisant par ledit écartement, ce qui permet de déplacer l'accessoire de coiffure le long des cheveux tout en maintenant un souffle d'air orienté obliquement aux cheveux.Thanks to these provisions, the hairdressing accessory makes it possible to guarantee a good drying of the hair, the flow of air coming from the openings which are arranged vis-à-vis is therefore directed towards the hair, while avoiding the effects of turbulence. . More specifically, the air flow from the openings is then a longitudinal flow, that is to say that extends over a certain length, whose origin is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the branches of the accessory and the flow is oriented obliquely with respect to the plane P and preferably towards the bottom of the hairdressing apparatus. The rendering after drying is improved. In addition, the accessory can be positioned properly above the hair by easily handling the hair styling apparatus. The locks of hair can be positioned easily between the two branches by introducing said spacing, which allows to move the hair accessory along the hair while maintaining a breath of air oriented obliquely to the hair.

Par plan P passant par les deux branches, on entend un plan P qui coupe les deux branches en s'étendant parallèlement à ces dernières. En d'autres termes, on entend par un plan P passant par les deux branches, un plan dans lequel s'inscrit l'axe longitudinal de chacune des deux branches.By plane P passing through the two branches is meant a plane P which intersects the two branches extending parallel to them. In other words, we mean by a plane P passing through the two branches, a plane in which is inscribed the longitudinal axis of each of the two branches.

Indifféremment, ledit axe longitudinal de chacune des deux branches peut être un axe rectiligne, c'est-à-dire suivant la trajectoire d'une droite ou curviligne, c'est-à-dire suivant la trajectoire d'un arc de cercle, d'une ellipse, etc.Regardless, said longitudinal axis of each of the two branches may be a rectilinear axis, that is to say along the path of a line or curvilinear, that is to say along the path of an arc of a circle, an ellipse, etc.

Selon une première conception de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, les branches sont configurées pour former entre elles un cercle ouvert au niveau des extrémités desdites branches, l'ouverture étant constituée par ledit écartement. Cette conception favorise une meilleure répartition du souffle d'air lorsque l'accessoire de coiffure est positionné au-dessus de la chevelure. Cette conception est en outre mieux adaptée aux appareils de coiffure de type sèche-cheveux en forme de pistolet.According to a first design of the hairdressing accessory object of the invention, the branches are configured to form between them an open circle at the ends of said branches, the opening being constituted by said spacing. This design promotes a better distribution of airflow when the hair accessory is positioned above the hair. This design is furthermore more suitable for hair-style hairdressing apparatus in the form of a gun.

Selon une seconde conception de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, les branches sont configurées pour former sensiblement entre elles une ellipse ouverte au niveau des extrémités desdites branches, l'ouverture étant constituée par ledit écartement. Cette conception favorise l'introduction des cheveux entre les deux branches en les répartissant le long desdites branches, ce qui favorise une disposition à plat de la mèche de cheveux entre les branches plutôt qu'une disposition en tronc de ladite mèche, pour une meilleure efficacité du souffle d'air sur les cheveux. Cette conception est en outre mieux adaptée aux appareils de coiffure de type brosse soufflante ayant des accessoires se montant dans le prolongement linéaire du corps de la brosse. La conception de forme oblongue ou elliptique permet aussi une bonne ergonomie de maintien de l'appareil complet lorsque l'accessoire est utilisé notamment pour sécher les mèches de cheveux sur le côté de la tête.According to a second design of the hairdressing accessory object of the invention, the branches are configured to form substantially between them an open ellipse at the ends of said branches, the opening being constituted by said spacing. This design promotes the introduction of the hair between the two branches by dividing along said branches, which promotes a flat arrangement of the lock of hair between the branches rather than a trunk arrangement of said wick, for greater efficiency breath of air on the hair. This design is also better suited to blower-style hairstyle having accessories mounted in the linear extension of the brush body. The oblong or elliptical shape design also allows good ergonomics of maintaining the complete device when the accessory is used in particular to dry the locks of hair on the side of the head.

Selon une réalisation de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, celui-ci comprend des poils qui s'étendent sur les côtés internes des branches, de préférence parallèlement au plan P. Ainsi, les poils agencés à l'intérieur de l'arc formé par la ou les branches permettent de brosser et/ou peigner la mèche, lui évitant d'être emmêlée, lui apportent plus de brillance ou éclat, et permettent à la mèche d'être uniformément répartie à l'intérieur de l'accessoire. Les poils peuvent être en synthétique et/ou en matière naturelle, par exemple de sanglier. Par poil on entend tout poil en matière synthétique ou naturelle, mais aussi tout picot, par exemple en plastique, ou bien encore un ensemble de ceux-ci. Ils peuvent être rassemblés et fixés par touffes comprenant une ou plusieurs matières.According to one embodiment of the hair accessory object of the invention, it comprises bristles which extend on the inner sides of the branches, preferably parallel to the plane P. Thus, the bristles arranged inside the arc formed by the one or more branches makes it possible to brush and / or comb the wick, preventing it from being entangled, provide it with more shine or brightness, and allow the wick to be uniformly distributed inside the wick; accessory. The bristles may be synthetic and / or natural material, for example wild boar. By hair we mean any hair synthetic or natural material, but also any pin, for example plastic, or even a set of them. They can be collected and fixed by tufts comprising one or more materials.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, les ouvertures sont configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé à distance des poils.According to one aspect of the invention, the openings are configured to eject the air blown away from the bristles.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, les poils sont disposés en amont du souffle d'air sortant par les ouvertures.According to one aspect of the invention, the bristles are arranged upstream of the breath of air exiting through the openings.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, les ouvertures sont configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé vers le bas de l'accessoire de coiffure en utilisation.According to one aspect of the invention, the openings are configured to eject the blown air downward from the hairdressing accessory in use.

Selon cette réalisation de l'accessoire de coiffure, dans une première variante, les extrémités des poils sur la première branche sont distantes des extrémités des poils sur la seconde branche. Cette première variante permet de limiter les efforts de traction exercés sur les cheveux, durant le déplacement de l'accessoire le long desdits cheveux.According to this embodiment of the hairdressing accessory, in a first variant, the ends of the bristles on the first branch are distant from the ends of the bristles on the second branch. This first variant makes it possible to limit the traction forces exerted on the hair during the movement of the accessory along said hair.

Dans une seconde variante, les extrémités des poils sur la première branche sont en contact avec les extrémités des poils sur la seconde branche. Cette seconde variante permet un meilleur démêlage des cheveux.In a second variant, the ends of the bristles on the first branch are in contact with the ends of the bristles on the second branch. This second variant allows better disentangling of the hair.

Afin de limiter tout de même la traction sur ces cheveux, l'accessoire de coiffure prévoit de monter les poils sur au moins une barrette qui est assemblée avec un degré de mobilité vis-à-vis des branches. Ainsi, la mobilité de l'au moins une barrette permet d'écarter les poils en fonction de l'épaisseur de la mèche de cheveux disposée entre les deux branches durant le déplacement de l'accessoire de coiffure, ce qui limite la traction sur les cheveux.In order to still limit the traction on the hair, the hair accessory provides to mount the bristles on at least one bar which is assembled with a degree of mobility vis-à-vis the branches. Thus, the mobility of the at least one bar makes it possible to spread the hairs according to the thickness of the lock of hair disposed between the two branches during the movement of the hairstyle accessory, which limits the traction on the hairs. hair.

Dans ce mode de réalisation à barrette, la au moins une barrette peut être articulée autour d'un axe de rotation inclus dans le plan P passant par ladite au moins première branche parmi les deux. Au repos, les poils sont dans le plan P et en usage, ils pivotent si trop de tension est appliquée. L'articulation peut être limitée en angle, pour ne pas totalement éliminer l'effet des poils.In this embodiment with a bar, the at least one bar may be articulated around an axis of rotation included in the plane P passing through said at least first branch of the two. At rest, the bristles are in the plane P and in use they rotate if too much tension is applied. The articulation can be limited in angle, so as not to totally eliminate the effect of the hair.

Aussi, la au moins une barrette peut être mobile par montage sur au moins un ressort de rappel. Le ressort de rappel peut être intercalé entre la barrette et le corps de l'accessoire. Il peut être éventuellement réglable, permettant ainsi de garantir l'effort de brossage minimum selon la nature des cheveux.Also, the at least one bar may be movable by mounting on at least one return spring. The return spring can be inserted between the bar and the body of the accessory. It can be optionally adjustable, thus ensuring the minimum brushing effort according to the nature of the hair.

Enfin, la au moins une barrette peut être détachable ou interchangeable. Ceci permet de remplacer des barrettes de poils usées, ou bien de modifier la nature du poil, le diamètre des poils selon les cheveux d'utilisateurs différents ou selon l'état des cheveux d'un même utilisateur.Finally, the at least one bar can be detachable or interchangeable. This makes it possible to replace worn hairballs, or to modify the nature of the hair, the diameter of the hair according to the hair of different users or according to the condition of the hair of the same user.

Selon l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, les extrémités des branches comprennent l'écartement E entre elles compris entre 10 et 40 mm, préférentiellement entre 15 et 20 mm. Cette plage d'écartement permet de pénétrer facilement les cheveux entre les deux branches et incite en outre l'utilisateur à limiter l'épaisseur de la mèche de cheveux disposée entre ces deux branches.According to the hair accessory object of the invention, the ends of the branches comprise the spacing E between them between 10 and 40 mm, preferably between 15 and 20 mm. This spacing range makes it possible to easily penetrate the hair between the two branches and further encourages the user to limit the thickness of the lock of hair arranged between these two branches.

Selon une variante de conception de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, des moyens d'ouverture sont agencés entre au moins l'une des branches et le corps pour modifier l'écartement entre ces deux branches. D'une part, selon une première utilisation, cette conception favorise l'introduction des cheveux entre les deux branches. En effet, cette conception permet d'ouvrir les deux branches pour augmenter leur écartement entre elles et faciliter le positionnement des cheveux, avant de refermer lesdites branches pour les ramener en position normale. D'autre part, selon une seconde utilisation, cette conception permet d'écarter au maximum les deux branches pour les positionner au niveau du contour de la tête et encercler en partie ledit contour.According to a variant of the design of the hairdressing accessory object of the invention, opening means are arranged between at least one of the branches and the body to change the spacing between these two branches. On the one hand, according to a first use, this design promotes the introduction of hair between two branches. Indeed, this design allows to open the two branches to increase their spacing between them and facilitate the positioning of the hair, before closing said branches to bring them back to normal position. On the other hand, according to a second use, this design allows to separate the two branches as much as possible to position them at the level of the contour of the head and encircle part of said contour.

Selon cette variante de conception de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, un système d'actionnement est agencé entre au moins l'une des branches et le corps pour écarter automatiquement la ou les branches en activant ledit système. Cela facilite la manipulation de l'accessoire lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite écarter les deux branches.According to this variant of design of the hairdressing accessory object of the invention, an actuating system is arranged between at least one of the branches and the body to automatically remove the branch or branches by activating said system. This facilitates the handling of the accessory when the user wishes to separate the two branches.

L'invention concerne également un appareil de coiffure à flux d'air soufflé, de préférence un sèche-cheveux ou une brosse soufflante. Cet appareil de coiffure comprend une sortie d'air par laquelle est soufflé l'air qui peut être chauffé au préalable. L'appareil de coiffure comprend également au moins un accessoire de coiffure selon l'invention, qui comprend l'une ou l'autre des caractéristiques précitées. En outre, des moyens d'assemblage sont agencés entre ladite sortie d'air et l'extrémité du corps de l'accessoire de coiffure. Cela permet un assemblage amovible entre l'accessoire de coiffure et l'appareil de coiffure, de manière à permettre l'utilisation de plusieurs accessoires de coiffure présentant des caractéristiques différentes, objets de l'invention ou non, avec le même appareil de coiffure.The invention also relates to a hairdressing appliance with a blown air flow, preferably a hair dryer or a blower brush. This hairdressing apparatus comprises an air outlet through which is blown the air which can be preheated. The hairdressing apparatus also comprises at least one hairdressing accessory according to the invention, which comprises one or other of the aforementioned characteristics. In addition, assembly means are arranged between said air outlet and the end of the body of the hairdressing accessory. This allows a removable assembly between the hairdressing accessory and the hairdressing appliance, so as to allow the use of several hairdressing accessories having different characteristics, objects of the invention or not, with the same hairdressing appliance.

Selon une conception de l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, celui comprend un détecteur de présence de l'accessoire de coiffure assemblé sur la sortie d'air. Cela permet à l'appareil de coiffure de reconnaître l'accessoire de coiffure lors de son assemblage sur la sortie d'air.According to a design of the hairdressing apparatus object of the invention, that comprises a presence detector of the hairdressing accessory assembled on the air outlet. This allows the hairstylist to recognize the hairstyle accessory when assembled on the air outlet.

Selon cette conception, ledit appareil de coiffure peut comprendre un indicateur de présence de l'accessoire de coiffure assemblé sur la sortie d'air, configuré pour être enclenché lorsque le détecteur de présence est actif. Cela permet d'indiquer à l'utilisateur que l'accessoire de coiffure est convenablement branché sur la sortie d'air de l'appareil.According to this design, said hairdressing apparatus may include a presence indicator of the hairdressing accessory assembled on the air outlet, configured to be engaged when the presence detector is active.

Sur les figures 1 et 2 est illustré un appareil de coiffure 1 à flux d'air soufflé du type sèche-cheveux. Il en est de même sur les figures 6, 7 et 9. Tandis que sur les figures 3, 4 et 8, cet appareil de coiffure 1 est du type brosse soufflante. L'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend un corps 2 comprenant une poignée de manipulation 2a et une sortie d'air 3 par laquelle est soufflé l'air. L'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend également un bouton de commande 4 et un bouton de réglage 5 de la température de chauffe de l'air soufflé. Le corps 2 intègre des moyens de chauffe de l'air (résistance électrique par exemple) et des moyens de soufflage de l'air (groupe moto-ventilateur par exemple) qui est éjecté par la sortie d'air 3, lesquels sont pilotés par une carte électronique. De telles caractéristiques de l'appareil de coiffure 1 sont bien connues de l'homme du métier et ne seront donc pas plus détaillées.On the Figures 1 and 2 is illustrated a hairdressing apparatus 1 with a blown air flow of the hair dryer type. It is the same with Figures 6, 7 and 9 . While on the Figures 3, 4 and 8 , this hairdressing appliance 1 is of the brush-blower type. The hairstyling apparatus 1 comprises a body 2 comprising a handling handle 2a and an air outlet 3 through which the air is blown. The hairdressing appliance 1 also comprises a control knob 4 and an adjustment knob 5 for the heating temperature of the blown air. Body 2 incorporates means for heating the air (electrical resistance for example) and air blowing means (motor-fan unit for example) which is ejected by the air outlet 3, which are controlled by an electronic card. Such characteristics of the hairdressing apparatus 1 are well known to those skilled in the art and will therefore not be more detailed.

Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 1 à 5f, un accessoire de coiffure 6 est assemblé sur la sortie d'air 3 de l'appareil de coiffure 1. L'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend un corps 7 qui est creux. L'extrémité 8 du corps 7 est assemblée avec la sortie d'air 3. Pour cela, l'extrémité 8 peut être configurée pour s'emboîter dans la sortie d'air 3. On peut également envisager un montage coulissant de l'extrémité 8 à l'intérieur de la sortie d'air 3, avec un système d'encliquetage (non illustré sur les figures) mis en oeuvre entre l'extrémité 8 et la sortie d'air 3. Ce système d'encliquetage peut par exemple consister en une gorge agencée au niveau de l'extrémité 8 et en des griffes escamotables actionnées par un bouton de commande, les griffes se positionnant dans la gorge lors de l'engagement de l'extrémité 8 à l'intérieur de la sortie d'air 3. L'accessoire de coiffure 6 peut également être assemblé sur la sortie d'air 3 par vissage, ou par un système de fixation de type baïonnette.As illustrated on Figures 1 to 5f , a hairdressing accessory 6 is assembled on the air outlet 3 of the hairdressing appliance 1. The hairdressing accessory 6 comprises a body 7 which is hollow. The end 8 of the body 7 is assembled with the air outlet 3. For this, the end 8 can be configured to fit into the air outlet 3. It is also possible to envisage sliding mounting of the end 8 inside the air outlet 3, with a latching system (not shown in the figures) implemented between the end 8 and the air outlet 3. This locking system can for example consist of a groove arranged at the end 8 and retractable claws actuated by a control button, the claws positioning in the groove when the engagement of the end 8 inside the output of 3. The hairdressing accessory 6 can also be assembled on the air outlet 3 by screwing, or by a bayonet type fixing system.

Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 1 à 5f, l'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend deux branches 9, 10 qui prolongent vers l'avant le corps 7 avec lequel elles communiquent en le séparant en deux, à la manière d'une bifurcation. Ces branches peuvent être substantiellement symétriques par rapport à un plan vertical et orthogonal au plan P passant par la ou les branches 9, 10. L'écartement E se situe à l'extrémité distale de l'accessoire une fois celui-ci monté sur l'appareil. Les branches 9, 10 sont creuses et l'air soufflé sort de la sortie d'air 3 et passe à l'intérieur du corps 7, puis se propage le long des deux branches 9, 10 où il est éjecté au travers d'une ouverture 11, dans un sens incliné, représenté par les flèches 19, d'un angle compris entre 30° et 80° par rapport au plan P. De préférence, les ouvertures 11 sont configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé dans un sens incliné d'un angle compris entre 40° et 60° par rapport au plan P. De préférence, les ouvertures 11 sont configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé dans un sens incliné d'un angle de 45° par rapport au plan P. On entend par un plan P passant par les deux branches 9, 10, un plan dans lequel s'inscrit l'axe longitudinal de chacune des deux branches 9, 10.As illustrated on Figures 1 to 5f , the hairdressing accessory 6 comprises two branches 9, 10 which extend forwardly the body 7 with which they communicate by separating it in two, in the manner of a bifurcation. These branches may be substantially symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane and orthogonal to the plane P passing through the branch or branches 9, 10. The distance E is at the distal end of the accessory once it is mounted on the 'apparatus. The branches 9, 10 are hollow and the air blown out of the air outlet 3 and passes inside the body 7, then propagates along the two branches 9, 10 where it is ejected through a 11, in an inclined direction, represented by the arrows 19, an angle of between 30 ° and 80 ° relative to the plane P. Preferably, the openings 11 are configured to eject the blown air in an inclined direction d An angle between 40 ° and 60 ° relative to the plane P. Preferably, the openings 11 are configured to eject the blown air in a direction inclined at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the plane P. by a plane P passing through the two branches 9, 10, a plane in which the longitudinal axis of each of the two branches 9, 10 is inscribed.

L'ouverture 11 peut être continue entre les deux branches 9, 10. On peut au contraire prévoir une ou plusieurs ouvertures 11 distinctes sur chacune des deux branches 9, 10.The opening 11 can be continuous between the two branches 9, 10. On the contrary, one or more distinct openings 11 can be provided on each of the two branches 9, 10.

Préférentiellement l'ouverture 11 s'étend longitudinalement et parallèlement audit axe longitudinal de chacune des deux branches 9, 10 comme l'illustrent par exemple les figures 5a à 5f. En d'autres termes, l'ouverture 11 est configurée pour former un flux d'air suffisamment large (l'ouverture s'étendant sur une certaine longueur parallèlement à l'axe de la branche), incliné d'un angle compris entre 30° et 80° par rapport au plan P, orienté préférentiellement vers le bas de l'appareil de coiffure, et d'une largeur avantageusement sensiblement égale à la longueur de chacune des branches. Cet agencement particulier permet de produire un flux d'air suffisamment large, qui s'étend avantageusement sensiblement sur toute la longueur des branches 9, 10, qui peut se diffuser de manière homogène sur l'ensemble des cheveux qui se situent entre lesdites branches 9, 10, tout en étant orienté vers le bas, c'est-à-dire vers la pointe des cheveux. En d'autres termes, le flux d'air produit s'étend sur toute la largeur de la mèche en direction de son extrémité. Dès lors, les turbulences sont limitées et l'utilisation de l'appareil de coiffure est remarquablement facilitée (l'orientation du flux d'air étant déjà optimisée par rapport aux cheveux). Il est donc plus facile et rapide pour l'utilisateur de réaliser la mise en forme souhaitée. A titre d'exemple, ladite ouverture 11 ou lesdites ouvertures 11 peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'une fente qui s'étend sur toute la longueur des branches 9, 10, ladite fente s'étendant selon un axe sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal desdites branches 9, 10.Preferably the opening 11 extends longitudinally and parallel to said longitudinal axis of each of the two branches 9, 10 as illustrated for example by the Figures 5a to 5f . In other words, the opening 11 is configured to form a sufficiently wide air flow (the opening extending over a certain length parallel to the axis of the branch), inclined at an angle of between 30.degree. ° and 80 ° relative to the plane P, preferably oriented downwardly of the hairdressing apparatus, and a width advantageously substantially equal to the length of each of the branches. This particular arrangement makes it possible to produce a sufficiently wide air flow, which advantageously extends substantially over the entire length of the branches 9, 10, which can spread homogeneously over all of the hair that lies between said branches 9 , 10, while pointing downwards, that is to say towards the tip of the hair. In other words, the flow of air produced extends over the entire width of the wick towards its end. Therefore, the turbulence is limited and the use of the hairdressing appliance is remarkably facilitated (the orientation of the airflow is already optimized relative to the hair). It is therefore easier and faster for the user to achieve the desired formatting. For example, said opening 11 or said openings 11 may be in the form of a slot which extends over the entire length of the branches 9, 10, said slot extending along an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said branches 9, 10.

Les ouvertures 11 comprennent un système de guidage 25 de l'air soufflé. Le système de guidage 25 comprend des ailettes longitudinales 27 disposées longitudinalement par rapport aux branches 9, 10 et/ou des ailettes transversales 29 disposées transversalement par rapport aux branches 9, 10.The openings 11 comprise a guiding system 25 of the blown air. The guide system 25 comprises longitudinal fins 27 arranged longitudinally with respect to the branches 9, 10 and / or transverse fins 29 arranged transversely with respect to the branches 9, 10.

Les ailettes longitudinales 27 sont inclinées d'un angle compris entre 30° et 80° par rapport au plan P. De préférence, les ailettes longitudinales 27 sont inclinées d'un angle compris entre 40° et 60° par rapport au plan P. De préférence, les ailettes longitudinales 27 sont inclinées d'un angle de 45° par rapport au plan P. Préférentiellement lesdites ailettes longitudinales s'étendent parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal des branches 9, 10 et viennent par exemple séparer l'ouverture 11 en deux.The longitudinal fins 27 are inclined at an angle of between 30 ° and 80 ° relative to the plane P. Preferably, the longitudinal fins 27 are inclined at an angle of between 40 ° and 60 ° relative to the plane P. preferably, the longitudinal fins 27 are inclined at an angle of 45 ° relative to the plane P. Preferably said longitudinal fins extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the branches 9, 10 and come for example to separate the opening 11 in two .

Les ailettes transversales 29 sont avantageusement inclinées d'un angle préférentiellement compris entre 5° et 20° par rapport à un plan P', normal au plan P et coupant les deux branches 9, 10.The transverse fins 29 are advantageously inclined at an angle preferably between 5 ° and 20 ° relative to a plane P ', normal to the plane P and intersecting the two branches 9, 10.

Les ailettes longitudinales et transversales 27, 29 sont disposées à la sortie de l'ouverture 11.The longitudinal and transverse fins 27, 29 are arranged at the outlet of the opening 11.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, les ailettes longitudinales 27 et les ailettes transversales 29 comprennent chacune une lame, de préférence en matière plastique.According to one aspect of the invention, the longitudinal fins 27 and the transverse fins 29 each comprise a blade, preferably made of plastic.

Au moins une portion de l'ouverture 11 d'une première branche creuse 9 parmi les deux branches 9, 10 et au moins une portion de l'ouverture 11 d'une deuxième branche 10 parmi les deux branches 9, 10 se font face.At least a portion of the opening 11 of a first hollow branch 9 among the two branches 9, 10 and at least a portion of the opening 11 of a second branch 10 of the two branches 9, 10 face each other.

La section des ouvertures 11 de chacune des deux branches a une dimension comprise entre 3 et 15 cm2 et avantageusement de l'ordre de 7 cm2. Les ouvertures 11 sont scindées par les ailettes longitudinales et transversales 27, 29 en plusieurs orifices de passage présentant chacun une section de passage de l'ordre 0,5 cm2.The section of the openings 11 of each of the two branches has a dimension of between 3 and 15 cm 2 and advantageously of the order of 7 cm 2 . The openings 11 are split by the longitudinal and transverse fins 27, 29 into several passage orifices each having a passage section of the order 0.5 cm 2 .

Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré par les figures 5a à 5f, les ailettes longitudinales 27 et les ailettes transversales 29 sont perpendiculaires entre elles. Le flux d'air issu de chacune des branches 9, 10 est alors uniformément diffusé sur les cheveux. Sur les figures 1 et 2, les branches 9, 10 présentent une forme en demi-cercle avec leurs extrémités 12, 13 distantes l'une de l'autre afin de maintenir un écartement E entre elles. Ainsi les branches 9, 10 forment concomitamment un cercle ouvert au niveau desdites extrémités 12, 13. Sur les figures 3 et 4, la forme en demi-cercle des branches 9, 10 est remplacée par une forme en demi-ellipse de sorte que lesdites branches 9, 10 forment concomitamment une ellipse ouverte au niveau des deux extrémités 12, 13 ayant un écartement E entre elles. Cet écartement E permet le passage des cheveux pour les positionner entre les deux branches 9, 10. L'écartement E entre les deux extrémités 12, 13 des branches 9, 10 est choisi entre 10 mm et 40 mm, par exemple plus précisément entre 15 mm et 20 mm. De préférence, l'écartement E est de 17 mm pour des branches 9, 10 formant un cercle ouvert, et de 16 mm pour des branches 9, 10 formant une ellipse ouverte.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated by the Figures 5a to 5f , the longitudinal fins 27 and the transverse fins 29 are perpendicular to each other. The air flow from each of the branches 9, 10 is then uniformly diffused on the hair. On the Figures 1 and 2 , the branches 9, 10 have a semicircular shape with their ends 12, 13 spaced apart from each other in order to maintain a spacing E between them. Thus the branches 9, 10 form concomitantly an open circle at said ends 12, 13. On the Figures 3 and 4 , the semicircular shape of the branches 9, 10 is replaced by a half-ellipse shape so that said branches 9, 10 form concomitantly an open ellipse at the two ends 12, 13 having a spacing E between them. This spacing E allows the passage of the hair to position between the two branches 9, 10. The distance E between the two ends 12, 13 of the legs 9, 10 is chosen between 10 mm and 40 mm, for example more precisely between 15 mm and 20 mm. Preferably, the spacing E is 17 mm for branches 9, 10 forming an open circle, and 16 mm for branches 9, 10 forming an open ellipse.

Sur la figure 1, l'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend des poils 14 qui s'étendent radialement à l'intérieur du cercle formé par les branches 9, 10, dans un plan parallèle au plan P. Ces poils 14 sont disposés sur une rangée qui s'étend de part et d'autre sur les côtés internes 9a, 10a desdites branches 9, 10. Ces poils 14 sont sans contact les uns vis-à-vis des autres.On the figure 1 , the hairdressing accessory 6 comprises bristles 14 which extend radially inside the circle formed by the branches 9, 10, in a plane parallel to the plane P. These bristles 14 are arranged on a row which extends on either side of the inner sides 9a, 10a of said branches 9, 10. These bristles 14 are non-contact with each other.

Comme représenté sur les figures 5a à 5f, les ouvertures 11 sont configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé à distance des poils 14. Les poils 14 sont disposés en aval des ouvertures 11 sur l'accessoire de coiffure 6 en utilisation. Les ouvertures 11 sont configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé vers le bas de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 en utilisation. Ainsi, lors de l'utilisation de l'accessoire de coiffure 6, les cheveux sont dans un premier temps séchés par le flux d'air chaud émis par les ouvertures 11, puis coiffés par les poils 14.As shown on Figures 5a to 5f , the openings 11 are configured to eject the air blown away from the bristles 14. The bristles 14 are disposed downstream of the openings 11 on the hairdressing accessory 6 in use. The openings 11 are configured to eject the blown air down from the hairdressing accessory 6 in use. Thus, when using the hairdressing accessory 6, the hair is first dried by the hot air flow emitted by the openings 11 and then capped by the bristles 14.

L'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend une première rangée de poils 14a qui s'étendent sur le côté interne 9a de la première branche 9 et une seconde rangée de poils 14b qui s'étendent sur le côté interne 10a de la seconde branche 10. Ces poils 14a, 14b sont disposés dans le plan P ou dans un plan parallèle audit plan P. Les extrémités 15a des poils 14a sur la première branche 9 peuvent venir en contact avec les extrémités 15b des poils 14b sur la seconde branche 10; comme cela est illustré sur la figure 4, ou être distantes les unes vis-à-vis des autres, comme cela est illustré sur les figures 5a à 5f.The hairdressing accessory 6 comprises a first row of bristles 14a which extend on the inner side 9a of the first branch 9 and a second row of bristles 14b which extend on the inner side 10a of the second branch 10. These bristles 14a, 14b are arranged in the plane P or in a plane parallel to said plane P. The ends 15a of the bristles 14a on the first branch 9 can come into contact with the ends 15b of the bristles 14b on the second branch 10; as illustrated on the figure 4 , or be distant from each other, as illustrated on the Figures 5a to 5f .

Dans une variante de réalisation illustrée sur la figure 5f, l'accessoire 6 peut comporter deux rangées de poils 30 supplémentaires, en complément des deux rangées de poils 14, afin d'améliorer encore le brossage de la mèche, permettant de lui apporter plus de brillance et d'éclat. Les rangées de poils 30 sont avantageusement portées par la partie supérieure des branches 9, 10, située à l'opposé des ouvertures 11, les poils 30 étant avantageusement inclinés vers le haut de manière à former un angle de l'ordre de 45° avec le plan P.In an embodiment variant illustrated on the figure 5f , the accessory 6 may comprise two additional rows of bristles, in addition to the two rows of bristles 14, in order to further improve the brushing of the wick, making it possible to bring it more brilliance and brightness. The rows of bristles 30 are advantageously carried by the upper part of the branches 9, 10, situated opposite the openings 11, the bristles 30 being advantageously inclined upwards so as to form an angle of the order of 45.degree. the plane P.

Les figures 8 et 9 présentent des branches 9, 10 formant respectivement sensiblement une ellipse ouverte et un cercle ouvert. Par ellipse on entend un cercle aplati et prenant une forme oblongue. Sur la figure 8, on constate la présence de deux rangées de poils 14a, 14b similaires à celles de la figure 4. En outre, on constate sur cette figure 8 que les poils 14a sur la première branche 9 sont montés sur une barrette 16. Cette barrette 16 est agencée sur le côté interne 9a de la branche, avec un montage souple offrant un degré de mobilité aux poils 14a. Une telle barrette 16 est également prévue sur le côté interne 10a de la seconde branche 10. Cette conception permet d'écarter légèrement les extrémités 15a, 15b des poils 14a, 14b afin de limiter les efforts de traction sur les cheveux disposés entre les deux branches 9, 10, durant le déplacement de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 le long de ces cheveux. Sur la figure 9, on constate que les extrémités 15 des poils 14 sont également en contact, contrairement au mode de réalisation illustré en figure 1. Dans ce cas, une barrette 16 est également prévue sur les côtés internes 9a, 10a des branches 9, 10.The Figures 8 and 9 have branches 9, 10 respectively forming substantially an open ellipse and an open circle. By ellipse we mean a flattened circle and taking an oblong shape. On the figure 8 , there is the presence of two rows of bristles 14a, 14b similar to those of the figure 4 . In addition, we see on this figure 8 that the bristles 14a on the first branch 9 are mounted on a bar 16. This bar 16 is arranged on the inner side 9a of the branch, with a flexible assembly providing a degree of mobility to the bristles 14a. Such a bar 16 is also provided on the inner side 10a of the second leg 10. This design allows to slightly spread the ends 15a, 15b of the bristles 14a, 14b to limit the tensile forces on the hair arranged between the two branches 9, 10, during the movement of the hair accessory 6 along the hair. On the figure 9 it is found that the ends 15 of the bristles 14 are also in contact, unlike the embodiment illustrated in FIG. figure 1 . In this case, a bar 16 is also provided on the inner sides 9a, 10a of the branches 9, 10.

Sur la figure 6, la première branche 9 de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 est montée en liaison pivot 17 par rapport au corps 7, tout en communiquant avec celui-ci. La seconde branche 10 demeure fixe vis-à-vis du corps 7. Cette conception permet d'augmenter l'écartement E entre les deux extrémités 12, 13 des branches 9, 10, notamment pour faciliter l'introduction des cheveux entre ces deux branches 9, 10.On the figure 6 , the first branch 9 of the hairdressing accessory 6 is mounted in pivot connection 17 relative to the body 7, while communicating therewith. The second limb 10 remains fixed with respect to the body 7. This design makes it possible to increase the spacing E between the two ends 12, 13 of the limbs 9, 10, in particular to facilitate the introduction of the hair between these two limbs. 9, 10.

Sur la figure 7, les deux branches 9, 10 sont montées en liaison pivot 17, 18 vis-à-vis du corps 7, ce qui permet d'augmenter encore plus l'écartement E, en comparaison du mode de réalisation illustré en figure 6. Un écartement important permet aussi, par exemple, de positionner l'accessoire de coiffure 6 avec les deux branches 9, 10 ouvertes au niveau du contour de la têteOn the figure 7 , the two branches 9, 10 are mounted in pivot connection 17, 18 with respect to the body 7, which makes it possible to increase even further the distance E, compared with the embodiment illustrated in FIG. figure 6 . A large gap also allows, for example, to position the hairdressing accessory 6 with the two branches 9, 10 open at the contour of the head

Les modes de réalisation des figures 6 et 7 sont mis en oeuvre avec des branches 9, 10 formant un cercle ouvert. On peut également envisager ces modes de réalisation avec des branches 9, 10 formant une ellipse ouverte semblable à celle illustrée sur les figures 4 et 8.The embodiments of the Figures 6 and 7 are implemented with branches 9, 10 forming an open circle. These embodiments may also be envisaged with branches 9, 10 forming an open ellipse similar to that illustrated in FIGS. figures 4 and 8 .

On peut envisager d'autres moyens d'ouverture des branches 9, 10 que des liaisons pivots 17, 18, notamment pour augmenter l'écartement E entre les extrémités 12, 13 de ces branches 9, 10. Par exemple, on peut envisager la mise en oeuvre de branches 9, 10 télescopiques.Other means for opening the branches 9, 10 can be envisaged than pivot links 17, 18, in particular to increase the spacing E between the ends 12, 13 of these branches 9, 10. For example, it is possible to envisage the implementation of branches 9, 10 telescopic.

On peut prévoir des crans (non illustrés sur les figures) agencés au niveau des liaisons pivots 17, 18 entre les branches 9, 10 et le corps 7, ces crans permettant de définir précisément plusieurs positions d'ouverture des branches 9, 10, voire uniquement de la première branche 9 dans le cas de la figure 6.We can provide notches (not shown in the figures) arranged at the pivot links 17, 18 between the legs 9, 10 and the body 7, these notches to precisely define several opening positions of the branches 9, 10, or only of the first branch 9 in the case of the figure 6 .

On peut également prévoir un système d'actionnement entre les branches 9, 10 et le corps 7, voire uniquement entre la première branche 9 et le corps 7 dans le cas de la figure 6. Ce système d'actionnement permet d'ouvrir automatiquement les branches 9, 10 lors de son activation. Par exemple, on peut prévoir des plots qui s'engagent dans les branches 9, 10 ou viennent en butée sur ces branches 9, 10 lorsqu'elles sont en position fermée, avec un écartement E minimal, ces plots étant escamotables au moyen de l'activation d'un bouton de commande ou d'une gâchette. Des ressorts de rappel agencés entre les branches 9, 10 et le corps 7 assurent l'ouverture automatique des branches 9, 10 lors de l'escamotage desdits plots.It is also possible to provide an actuating system between the branches 9, 10 and the body 7, or even only between the first branch 9 and the body 7 in the case of the figure 6 . This actuation system automatically opens the branches 9, 10 during its activation. For example, it is possible to provide studs which engage in the branches 9, 10 or abut on these branches 9, 10 when they are in the closed position, with a minimum distance E, these studs being retractable by means of the activation of a command button or trigger. Return springs arranged between the legs 9, 10 and the body 7 ensure the automatic opening of the branches 9, 10 during the retraction of said pads.
